Hiya,
A question has arisen with the implementation of bsdinstall in 9.x as opposed to sysinstall in 8.x and previous versions of FreeBSD.
It has always been FreeBSD's default to create four partitions and swap as such:
/ /tmp /var /usr swap
The recent changes in 9.x with bsdinstall use a default behavior which creates only one partition and swap, with everything living under a single "/" partition as such:
/ swap
Blame the Linux community for fostering _that_ silliness. <wry grin>
We'd like a show of hands to see if folks prefer the "old" style default with 4 partitions and swap, or the newer iteration with 1 partition and swap.
*I* would stronngly prefer _five_ partitions plus swap;
/ /tmp /var /usr /home swap
There are good arguments to be made for keeping the '/' filesystem as small as practical, _and_ restricting it to 'system' content -- preferably all "non-volatile" such that it (as well as '/usr') can be mounted read-only.
The above-mentioned RO mounting does wonders for system reliability and speed of crash recovery.
